My question TO you, my dear MI. quiz,
Is simply matter we often call bus
lneSs, and not wishing to worry your
giZ-
Gard out of you, and thus furrOw your
phiZ.
I'll ask you just how to get rid of the
mis-
Fry of buying coal just after it's riz.
There are several ways. 1 will men,
ton two. Move to Honolulu, or you
might commit suicide. If you choose
the latter method you would probably
| not be obliged to buy fuel.

SANFORD BICKLE.
Why is it that the hind wheels of
wagon, being larger than the forward
ones, do not Overtake the latter when
the vehicle is in motion?
Because the wheels are held apart by
the reach. There are no figures neces-
sary to prove this.
A PEDESTRIAN.
Why do NicOlS & Dean persist in
taking every inch of sidewalk for
store house, pedestrians having to take
the middle of the street or else take the
other side of the street?
Because the city ordinance is not en-
forced. Other wholesale merchants are
equally guilty with NicOlS Il DEAN.

YELLOW LABEL.
Is there custom or law governing
the erection of fences around the rear
or front Of a residence lot when the lots
each side of you are improved? What
fences am compelled to build if | wish
my lot inclOSed?
If you want your lot inclosed and can
not make arrangements with the own
erS of the adjoining property to pay
half the expense of inclOSing, you can
build any kind of a fence, except barbed
wire. Even barbed wire goes if your
lot is outside the city limits.

THE BOY.
Will you kindly let us know through
the columns of your valuable paper

hospital Of st. Paul is? Although we

CONSTANT READER.
| want to go over in Wisconsin and
catch beaver, and want to know the
most approved way of trapping them.
| Ally lIllOl vi lliC VI
catching them will be thankfully re-
| ceiYed.
A good way to catch beaver is to run
| them down. but if you don't happen to
be good runner, set strong steel traps
in their favOrite runs and paths, which
are found near all beaver settlements,
and you are liable to trap them. The
old recipe used in the case of birds
where salt is put on their tails, won't
| work on beavers.
Toe PERRIN.
Does a man have to be able to read
and write before he can vote in Con-
necticut or Massachusetts?
The law requires that man must be
able to read and write before he can
| qualify as a voter. However, if the
vote promises to be a close one, the
chances in favor of man being able to
vote, whether he knows the alphabet or
a pen when he sees one OF not. are very
good, especially in Connecticut.

word alter was not the most proper
word to use in the following sentence
MY cap is too small; will have it
altered
You win the bet. Changed is the
proper word to use in this connection.
CUE RYE OS CITY.
Will you kindly inform me why man
cannot put up stove without getting
SCOT on his nose and sprinkling pro-
family in the air?
Because he isn't built that way. If a
man hadn't a nose, he could put up
stoves all his life without getting
daubed with SCOT. If man is dumb,
he can put up stoves from now till
death removes him and never utter an
oath, but so long rs man has a nose
